Vantage

“Ultimately, they need and want to be owning their own dashboards,”

“Vantage meshed a lot of our needs including cost which was a major factor for the VGS team.”

“This is one of the more affordable solutions,”

“Other solutions required expertise with specific backend query languages,”

“At the end of the day, it was just intuitive, which means we can extract value out of it more quickly,”

“Vantage Virtual Tagging quickly helped take us from 30% to 99%+ allocation of resources, because I had control. I didn't have to wait on the engineering teams to tag everything properly.”

“Adoption of Vantage exceeded our expectations. Engineers genuinely want to see the impact of their optimizations, and Vantage provides them with the tools to do so in real time.”

“The biggest thing we've solved is being able to put data into the hands of the teams that are responsible for it.”

“I was able to use my modified script that talks to Vantage instead of Cost Explorer for our reporting this month. All the numbers I expected to be the same as from Cost Explorer were the same and some of our shared costs were more appropriately spread around to various teams because of the Vantage queries being more powerful than Cost Explorer! Not only did this work much better but it also saved 300+ lines of code.”

“At this point, we run part of the business from the data that we generate in Vantage. And that was just not the case before, and it was not to the level of specificity that it needed.”

“Vantage just works the way we work. With Terraform, Kubernetes, and all the tools we already use. It fits right into our stack, which made adoption easy.”

“Doing all our cost reporting manually was taking too much time and wasn't sustainable. Every month felt like starting from scratch.”

“Extend is growing quickly, and we're constantly evolving our technology to better serve merchants and their customers. Vantage ensures we stay proactive, allowing our teams to focus on innovation rather than chasing down costs.”

“Vantage allows our engineering managers and software directors to stay on top of new development costs. They can create alerts based on what they need to track, so they get the right information at the right time.”

“If a tool doesn't provide value, people won't use it. The fact that we have such adoption is because A) it brings value and B) it's easy to use. Otherwise, we wouldn't see this at all.”

“Most vendors pitch cost savings based on eliminating idle compute. But in a serverless environment, we don't have idle computing. We needed a solution that was cost-effective, flexible, and provided detailed visibility without unnecessary overhead.”

“For security reasons, we had to restrict access to a small DevOps team, but we needed broader cost visibility without compromising security. AI workloads can spike unexpectedly based on demand. Without real-time monitoring and alerts, we risked significant cost overruns.”

““As we embed AI deeper into our operations, visibility into model cost and efficiency is critical. Vantage gives us the clarity to understand who’s spending, what’s driving that spend, and where we can make smarter decisions.”

“We’re experimenting with AI to understand where cost spikes originate. Eventually, we want an agent that can tell us what happened, who owns it, and whether it’s tied to a specific deployment. Vantage’s MCP connection makes that possible.”

“If an anomaly comes through, a ticket opens automatically in the engineer’s backlog. They get everything they need to take action—no back-and-forth, no waiting on us.”

“Many providers can’t handle multidimensional reporting. With Vantage, we can quickly pivot from a high-level view to deep cost analysis, then roll it back up when we just need a summary. That flexibility saves hours every week.”

“Because of Vantage’s virtual tagging capability, we were able to get off of our previous provider and have all engineers using it in a month and a half,” said Eric Mulartrick, FinOps Lead at Boomi. “It saved us from recreating the wheel.”

“It's been a joy since day one. We get tremendous support from the team — everyone is super responsive when we have a request and really takes the time to understand our issue,”

“We can actually sit down with CFOs and other VPs and executives within companies and look at the same numbers and discuss how they're trending with the customer's business.”

“Many times you guys come up with even a better solution than we suggested. We would be poking around with an issue, and then a couple of weeks later, we have a feature live that solves the problem even better.”
